Kia ora, this week for writing our goal was Vary sentence beginnings, structures and length. Write simple and compound sentences (by using conjunctions). Use some complex sentences. Use simple and compound sentences with a variety of beginnings, lengths and structures. Use some complex sentences to create pace, flow and interest. Use linking words and phrases to link some paragraphs. We needed to write a perseverance text including an amazing complex sentence, my topic was, should school days be shorter. Have a look at my writing.
In my opinion we should not, you may be thinking no way they should be shorter. But don’t you want your kid to be successful?
Firstly, in order for your kid to learn, they must have a long workshop. Because some kids need more time than others, because everyone is different. Their question could remain unsolved, since they did not have time to ask a teacher.
Secondly, almost everyone wants longer play times don’t they? You can’t have longer play with less time in the day, because remember we go to school to learn not to play. And if we had shorter days we would be playing for half the day.
Lastly, You will have way more time with your friends! Now don’t tell me you don’t want that. You can become more social, and so when you leave school you have friends and now how to make new ones.
So this is why I think that 6 hours at school is perfectly fine , because your kid can not only learn more, but become more social and they could also have more play time! So have a think about it.
Can you find my complex sentence?
Kia ora, this week for lock down our writing goal was, Vary sentence beginnings, structures and length. Write simple and compound sentences (by using conjunctions). Use some complex sentences. Use simple and compound sentences with a variety of beginnings, lengths and structures. Use some complex sentences to create pace, flow and interest. Use linking words and phrases to link some paragraphs. We are writing about persuasive writing, my topic was about. Children under 13 should not be left home alone.I have also included different types of sentences, have a look down below.
Hi, this is why I think children under 13 should not be allowed home alone. Would you want your kid to be all alone by themselves? This is why I think they should be with a 14 year old or older.
Firstly, your child is only young and has probably not had lessons on how to use a fire extinguisher, and what would happen if your house caught on fire your child would be all alone not knowing what to do.
Secondly, if your child is young and has someone younger with them, what if they had to perform CPR they probably have not had a first aid course yet, and so that could be the reason why your child dies, but a way to fix this is just to stay home with them.
Lastly, your kid could be really responsible, but what if they decided that they would do something dangerous. They might not know what could happen, but if you were there you could stop them and save spending your afternoon at the hospital.
So just remember. That your child should be home with someone at all times ( someone who is 14 or older) because what if there was fire, what if someone needed CPR and what if they did something dangerous.
Do you agree with me?
